Bought this beer from Systembolaget in Kiruna couple of weeks ago when I visited Swedish Lapland. Exp. date Oct 08.

Pours golden yellow. Smell is Very hoppy and fruity. Very nice. Taste is a bit milder than the smell promises. Very hoppy. The aftertaste is quite bitter. After all very enjoyable beer. (302 characters)

Appearance: Cloudy deep golden color with a nice white foamy head that didn't leave a lot of lacing, but receded to a nice frothy white cap for the duration.

Smell: Yeasty, hops, wheat and a little sweet fruit on the nose. Has a sort of Belgian Saison funk to it, which fits since it's called a "Swedish Farmhouse Ale".

Taste: Very nice. Good yeast phenols with banana, apricot and spices. Sweet, with a good balance of noticeable hops and roasted malts. The yeast is the star of the flavor. This falls somewhere between a Belgian Saison and a HefeWeizen in flavor, with just a little extra hops 'oomph' (which is good).

Mouth Feel: Medium bodied with a thick and creamy feel on the tongue.

Drinkability: I would drink this again for sure, especially in the 1/2 liter bottles. Low ABV and refreshing sweetness, with a nice hops bite as well, make this a good spring/summer brew. (952 characters)

500ml bottle. Pours a very hazy copper with a fluffy, medium white head that leaves decent lacing. Smells sweet, earthy, herbal, and grassy. Lightly toasted malt presence. The earthy aromatic hops come through more strongly in the taste, with citrus and some light spicy yeast notes in the background. Dry and refreshing. Full bodied for the style. Very nice and quite drinkable. (379 characters)

S-Apricot is the most apparent aroma, but there are also hints of orange rind, apple compote, and hops.

T-Good malt base with a heavy dose of fruit notes, apricot, and hops. What you end up with is sort of a sweet-tart blend of dried, candied fruit and citrus rind, and a pleasant bitterness left by the hops.

A: The beer is slightly hazy yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that died down a bit but consistently left a thin head covering the surface and lacing down the sides of the glass.S: There are aromas of grassy and floral hops in the nose, similar to what you could expect from an English Ale. As the beer warms up, the smell becomes stronger and aromas of fruit become equally dominant.T: The taste shares some similarities to the smell and also has some fruity flavors from the yeast. A very light amount of bitterness is present.M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.O: This beer is very easy to drink and is perfectly sessionable.

Poured this 16.9 oz light brown bottle into a Tripel Karmeliet glass. No date. Purchased at the Wine and Cheese Place in St. Louis. The body was semi-opaque. A hazy butterscotch color with a tall soapy creamy off-white head. Sticky lace remained.

Taste was tangy with a prickly bite of grassy hops. Rich flavor. There was a welcome lack of sweetness because the hops shine here. There was a nice understated bittering finish. Herbal and drying. Better than expected.

Mouthfeel was zippy and denser than expected. Nice.

I believe this beer is wrongly categorized as a Amer. Blonde Ale. The label says "Golden Ale" and "Farmhouse". I would say it presents more like a Belgian Pale Ale/Saison. (800 characters)

A: The beer is a deep amber color, with a thin off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is of citrus, a good amount of hops and light caramelized malts.

T: The taste starts out with a decent burst of hops bitterness that is strong for the style, followed by mildly sweet flavors of caramel and citrus. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy; however there doesn't seem to be a very good balance amongst all of the flavors. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.

D: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, decent representation of style, this is the second beer I've had from this brewer and both have been on the hoppy side for their respective style, while I like that trait, this particular beer just isn't that good overall. There are several other beers in the style that I would choose first even if they aren't as hoppy. (1,071 characters)

Appearance: Oppigårds Golden Ale pours a light orange-to-golden colour along with a clear white, airy crown consisting of small bubbles. The crown in question disappears pretty quickly, it's more or less vanished after 2 minutes. Additionally, a small amount of bubbles are visible.

Smell: The sour and sweet scent of orange, or lemon and peach, are vividly present along with a underline of caramelly notes and a slightly bitter touch during the end.

Taste: The aforementioned fruitiness of peach peaks out in a mild but still prominent manner, sweet and almost vanilla-like at times. Continually, a acidic tone mellowly stings its way out in the middle followed by a distinctively bitter aftertaste which is greatly reminiscent of wormwood, but not in the overwhelmingly putrid penicillin-like sense of mould...

Mouthfeel: Rather flat, medium-to-thin in its body, smooth and round as well. The aforementioned bitterness leaves a dry feeling in the mouth.

Drinkability: Smell might be the most distinct sensory characteristic here, it differs greatly between smell and taste and it's all too flat for my taste. However, interesting, but not spectacular. (1,159 characters)
